Using modern microscopes is the key to successful work, the evolved form of the light microscopy allows new techniques and methods of use. The 3D microscopy uses a structured illumination, where multiple images are created and post-processed through the reception area, through this the resolution is doubled in the three spatial directions.

The PCE Germany GmbH has launched a new motorized 3D Microscope PCE-MVM 3D onto the market, the microscope allows not only the all-round observation of an object to be tested, it allows a very quiet, wobble free viewing, because the mirror of the PCE-MVM 3D is rotated by a motor, the direction of rotation and speed of the motorized mirror ( 45° ) are freely adjustable. The 3D surface parameters help professionals the surface forms wear and tear of electrical components, circuit boards, jewellery, etc, to better differentiate and improve functionality. Thanks to a built in USB port the microscope can be connected to a PC and the data can be processed later with optional software. The magnification of the motorized 3D microscope PCE-MVM 3D is from 12....75 times continuously and gives an insight of the incident and transmitted light function, the LCD display is large and clear for the consideration of the various objects, it can be translucent, and solid non transparent materials are examined in the incoming and final inspection.

Fast contact and three dimensional analyses of samples are created both in quality control, as well as in the industry, research and development, the 3D surface measurement is used as a supplement to the conventional 2D ( two dimensional) measurement technique.
